OT: heresy

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

When you write "translated", do you mean "transferred"?
"Employment" is "enfolding"?  "Personal" is "having to do
with masks"?  I must say I find your writing less
comprehensible if I believe what you say about how you use
boundaries, I mean terms.  It gives me a semantic
nightmare (if I may bring Lewis, C. S. in alongside Lewis C.).
